always remember to clone/mirror repositories in other places folks. Lawyers got onto Github and Github happily takes things down unless all of the internet comes to push back. Mirror your favorite projects to codeberg, forgejo, gitea, wherever. You never know when someone will be forced to take that project you love down.
As soon as I saw this I mirrored the repo here. Notably, the original repo is still up but it just got marked as archived.
If Lemmy has a retweet function, I'd retweet your comment. More people need to see this.
Yeah anytime I see code that I use that interacts with a third party I mirror it to be safe. Repos are small. Especially if the third party isn't a tech company, like most home assistant things. They are incredibly hostile and letigous against open source projects that have the audacity to make their products better.
Copy the link, go to your account on mastodon, put the link in the search, open this thread and retoot.
There's your retweet.
retoot
lmao
...It's the "copy" icon right next to the "star" icon on the thread minibar?
Xcancel got the same treatment. Fuck em
Please don't fuck Elon Musk, he's already got too many kids :P (and already mistreats some of them)
I'm pretty sure he can't get pregnant if I shove a taser-tipped baton up his butt and turn it on
But he's built like a cybertruck. How am I supposed to resist?
Only improved by a Molotov cocktail.
Yup...
Sounds like Elon's Bitter.
Elonsbitter.net sounds like a good replacement to nitter
Not a bad price either. Showed me 12 USD for the year on porkbun.
Uh oh, looks like someone's AI company is running out of money and needs people back on Twitter. 😭
Some alternatives (for now): https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances, https://status.d420.de/
Is there an alternative you can selfhost?
No need for an alternative, it can be self hosted and (for now) the original repo is still up: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter
Imagine being so petty...
Oh, isn’t bitter that site curating a list of content for building AI models? I seem to recall that and hope it works except then from any laws, right?
nitter is an alternative front-end/UI for X/Twitter
shitter a social media site for scatology enthusiasts
deserved for using twitter
